- Today’s session is about being webmaster for your club. We are going to be talking a lot about FreeToastHost, but there are other best practices that apply to all club web resources, regardless of your website host. We are also going to talk about creating club cloud resources and social media resources.

- If you want to get started right away, you can skip the option of creating your own template agenda, and use one of the several default agenda provided. Here is how this works:Virtually all clubs have their own agenda and way of running the meeting. But these template agenda make for a good starting point for most clubs. The idea is to select a template that most resembles your meeting, them modify/customize it from there. But when you create your own template, there is no modification needed each time you use your default agenda as the template.This can be very tricky. Follow all the instructions at FTH and go slowly. Alternatively, you can use a word doc that you save in the file manager. Essentially, this is a very clunky form builder. The key is to add the time to you first item and all the rest will follow. The agenda is a powerful tool for tracking member participation and keeping a record of past meetings. One of our members recently lost their manual after they had just completed their CC. We used our club agendas to collect the dates and titles of a member’s speeches so we could submit their CC. I recommend having your club secretary update the club agenda after the meeting so it accurately reflects what actually occurred. You’ll have to give your secretary the admin password to do this.
- Remember thatgmail account you made at the beginning? Well now you are ready to use it to set up Google Analytics to see who is looking at your website, and to create cloud resources and social media resources for your club. Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, Google docs, Google sites and WordPress all use gmail to authenticate against. Once you have a gmail account, you can create and then log in to all these things!
